Background of the TIMM website (thisismymilwaukee.com).

This is My Milwaukee, or TIMM, was an alternate reality game created by Synydyne, that ran from 2008 to 2009. The game's plot centered around the conflicts between the residents of Milwaukee and the fictional company named Blackstar. The name is from the slogan of the promotional video, "This is my milwaukee--why not make it yours?", which was designed to encourage people to move to Milwaukee.

The game described the Blackstar company creating a bioengineered creature known as Go.D.S.E.E.D., which was forced underground into dormancy and led to the city of Milwaukee becoming quarantined. There was a countdown clock in the upper right portion of the website counting down to 17:00:00 UTC January 16, 2009. The numbers on the clock were replaced with the word “BO NU S?” after it reached 00:00:00.

A page on one of the This is My Milwaukee wikis, Hoopeston, briefly describes the documentary created by Synydyne. On this page, Thomas Bender is listed as the director of the film, as well as one of two producers and the cinematographer. Franz Poekler is credited as ‘Museum Patron’ in the video.

This is backed up by a video on the Franz Poekler Vimeo profile, which has recently been deleted. The video on Vimeo has since been deleted along with the account, but the video was posted on a Facebook page with the following description:
"Our friend, Tom Bender, is in the midst of making a very interesting documentary about some werewolf enthusiasts in Queens.
We are so excited Twilight Lovebite was used in this amazing slow-mo montage!!!!"
